Establishing an identity and differentiating from other brands is the sole purpose of commercial design. Good design creates instantaneous recognition and association that triggers consumer experiences and memories. It creates readability as well as legibility and crosses all medias.
Design is a process as well as a philosophy. Good designers have a process that explores every option. Strengths are developed while weaknesses are eliminated, and through this process identities are created, positioned, and made unique. Often the process is overlooked and because it’s the end product that is there for examination and criticism. The process reveals truths and establishes guidelines with unity across all communications as its goal.
